Come, gentle spring, etherial miUness come 1 And from the bosom of yon dropping cloud, While music wake around, veiled in a shower Of ahadoalng roses, on our plains descend. Tuuaraos, It is a truth which is universally ad mitted, that there is no season of the fci&miwM Vculwd umpire s. with pleasurable sensatiojs, or better suited to awuken and strengthen the m ral seraes, than $pring. At this gay epoch, the great volume of nature exhibits, in various hues, the beautiea of the vegetable kingdom. The gar den and the foreatare seemingly emu lous to rival each other. The stately forest-trees, which cover the moun tain's top, give a deeper tint to the vaulted sky, and furnish the imagina tion with the must excellent of mate rials for poetry. And the vegetable kingdom, besides administering to pur intellectual wants and enjoyments, af fords the greater part of the real ne cessaries and comforts of life. While, taking this visual and intel lectual survey of the face of vegetable nature, a train of reflection will in atinctively rush upon the mind, relative to the cause which has produced these things : And the conclusion ot every xnotely emanate from a supernatural, I HVIVll.l rillV.IV .WWIMM M.JL'BI-J'.U v infinitely wise, and good Being -who koowa our wants, and who affords us assistance in all the trials and ills of life.

CCES9 WORK. Mr, White 1 An odd publication, in deed, appeared io your paper of the 16th of March, signed "A trustee. A Trustee confidently.states, 44 that a very serious misunderstsnding haa taken place among the trustees of the Wcttero College: that it wa ihe un contradicted opinio of th board, at their last September meeting, that the last annual meeting would be butnom inal, with a view of keeping up the charter," See. He then proceeds to make ao objection or complaint agairst the 30th of March happening on the week preceding the meeting of Presbytery j and in the close of that sentence, seems desirous to hold forth the idea to the public, that the bust ness of the Western College cannot be done. lie next takes upon him to say, thst these notices and appointments fhav ing mentioned but one since that of September, except iq an oblique way) nave originated in want of recollec tion, or must have for their object the baptism of some petty Grammar- school, or mushroom academy, with the dignified name of College 1 and then virtually pronounces sentence of death upon the Western College, be the site wheresoever it may. In the next sentence, he has told a luminous truth (alluding, no doubt, to subscribers who wished with himself) that those who subscribed to the funds of the Western College, understood that their subscriptions were s trial of their strength and that now many of the subscribers considered themselves released from obligation to pay them. Now, sir, we are left to guess at the object of a " Trustee," as he has aowe- hitospif; :VA if-Lshould guess wrong, my case will be an ex cusable one, as it it guess work only. In his outset, he seems to impeach the recollection and views of the ven erable' President of the board, and ev ery member who attended the last an nual meeting. But, for his credit's take, I ahall guess that it is for little rise than a poor, indirect apology, for being himself absent: "that he would not plough by reason of the cold." But I am much at a loss to guess at his object, in objecting or complaining that the 30th of March happens on the week preceding the meeting of the Concord Presbytery, and did not in tend k to go to LincoimoQ to spend a week, in doing what could not be done." But now, perhaps, I have guessed wrong: for if he was a good and wise member of the Presbytery, he surely would not have made so bit ter a use of the sacred word " Bap tism," in. applying it to evil things, under a dignified nameTperhaps I may be incorrect in calling his denun ciation of the Western College a "sen tence of death t" for if he be a Minis ter, in place of Judge, I guess it is on ly tl Anathema, Maranatha." He proceeds then to tell us the truth of the fact that has for some time been suspected by the friends of the West ern College, but which he has not till flOW-'a.piublic)yt.jcknowU.4g'r!Ti: use his own words, he says thst "ihoie? who-TObscrbed to- the funds of the Western College understood that their subscriptions were a truTbf their strength." From the manner ia whih he closed the sentence, I guess that he is not merely a "Trustee." but a sub scriber (himself,) and actuattynTe ded to pay his subscription, as all honeit and undid mi would do ; but being uisappointcd in the lexalion, (the rrticnt one not bringing the Col lege uader the control ol Concord Presbytery) he takes thit itranp and indirect way of bringing himself, aad those against whom hcholJa auhterip lions, out of that dilemma ia which hit sinister but disappointed views had involved him. a not ft a TftVtTti.
